Researching Crowley

Dublin

I am trying to find information on my great, great grandparents, Cornelius Thomas Crowley and Nora Howrahan Crowley.  He was born about 1810 I do not know when she was born.  They had three children; Bridget born 1842, Joseph born 1844 and James born 1850.  James is my great grandfather.  He was born in Dublin and immigrated to the US in 1855 with his father and siblings, Nora was not with them so I am assuming she died in Ireland.  Any information you can provide would be appreciated.

 

Thank you

Therese Courtney

HI,

Thank you for your message. Do you know much about their emigration? The dates, the reason why they left, who they may have travelled with?..etc..Generally more information was given at the port of arrival rather than the port of departure. If you knew which city they arrived at (e.g. Liverpool, New York, etc.), this could be a good place to find more information.

If you haven't already - you might try any or all of the following for additional information:

The National Archives of Ireland http://www.nationalarchives.ie/genealogy1/genealogy-records/introduction/

The National Library of Ireland http://www.nli.ie/en/family-history-introduction.aspx

The National Archives UK ? genealogy search: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/records/looking-for-person/

Irish Newspaper Archives: http://www.irishnewsarchive.com/

US National Archives/Immigration info: http://www.archives.gov/research/immigration/

Irish Times Ancestors research: http://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/browse/

Remember to post as much information as you can with regard to the people you are researching. The more information you post, the more likely it is that one of our volunteers will be able to advise or assist you. Also include information concerning which sources you may have already used so others may further your search.

Kind regards,
